This is probably similar to the problem we had :

/sys/devices/pci0001:10/0001:10:17.0/0.80000000:mac-io/0.00020000:ata-3/ide1

so instead of ignoring 0.80000000:mac-io and 0.00020000:ata-3, you need to
ignore 0.f3000000:ohare and 0.00020000:ATA.

So, in /usr/lib/yaird/perl/Hardware.pm, at line 81, you need to copy one of the two
above lines :

		if ($abspath =~ m!/[a-f\d]+\.[a-f\d]+:mac-io$!) {
                        # Apple bus; harmless
                }
                elsif ($abspath =~ m!/[a-f\d]+\.[a-f\d]+:ata-\d+$!) {
                        # Apple IDE bus; harmless
                }

for your case, maybe something like :

		if ($abspath =~ m!/[a-f\d]+\.[a-f\d]+:ohare$!) {
                        # Apple bus; harmless
                }
                elsif ($abspath =~ m!/[a-f\d]+\.[a-f\d]+:ATA\d+$!) {
                        # Apple IDE bus; harmless
                }

but i am no perl expert, and may have gotten the exact magic wrong.
